Recommended structure

Give every page a job.

Start with this compact structure and add pages only when they answer a distinct visitor question.

Finished Home example — privacy-cropped excerpt — **01 · Home**Introduce fictional Prairie Horizon Motors, explain its independent-dealer approach and link to Vehicles and Buying Your Vehicle. Label every demonstration listing as sample stock, not an available vehicle. Privacy-cropped excerpt; browser/editor chrome removed.

Finished Vehicles example — privacy-cropped excerpt — **02 · Vehicles**Use a consistent detail layout with year, make, model, trim, mileage, key features, actual photos and a verified price breakdown. Add an availability timestamp and enquiry action. Do not show invented vehicles as live stock or imply automated inventory updates. Privacy-cropped excerpt; browser/editor chrome removed.

Finished Buying Your Vehicle example — privacy-cropped excerpt — **03 · Buying Your Vehicle**Explain viewing, questions, inspection information, pricing review and next steps.

Privacy-cropped excerpt; browser/editor chrome removed.

Finished Trade-In Enquiries example — privacy-cropped excerpt — **04 · Trade-In Enquiries**Explain that a preliminary conversation is not a binding valuation.

Finished About the Dealership example — privacy-cropped excerpt — **05 · About the Dealership**Introduce the real team, showroom and customer approach using verified business details and permission-cleared portraits.
